Abstract

This article explores unique considerations that face both women living with limb loss and their health care providers. This demographic of patient has a higher rate of artificial limb rejection, thus challenging providers to address needs for cosmesis and function that varies from those of male counterparts. Health care providers for women with amputations, such as the Veterans Affairs, must evolve health care delivery, research practices, and work jointly with industry in order to meet the needs of this population.
